IND W vs AUS W 1st ODI: H2H, Pitch & Weather Report, Playing XI’s and Live Streaming Details

Before the ODI World Cup, India will face Australia in a three-match series starting September 14 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. For India, these games hold big significance, they’ll use the series to fine-tune their best playing XI ahead of the tournament. Taking on Australia is never an easy task and that’s exactly why this challenge comes at the right time giving India the perfect test before the World Cup.

A big boost for India is the return of Renuka Singh. She was out for more than six months due to a stress fracture she picked up while playing in the Women’s Premier League for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Renuka has been one of India’s top bowlers with 35 wickets in just 19 games at a strong economy of 4.85, so her comeback will make a big difference.

On the other hand, India will miss Yastika Bhatia, who is out with an injury. Uma Chetry has been named as her replacement. For Australia, this series is a great chance to get used to Indian conditions before the World Cup begins on September 30. Big names like Alyssa Healy, Tahlia McGrath, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry and Sophie Molineux will be key players for them.
